  1. I never liked the home of the Sioux during the anthem and never participated. The difference here is the fans are paying customers who spend their money and have freedom of speech. These athletic programs are being supported by these fans through donations and contributions. Monetarily, the athletes are not invested. Other than the non-scholly players. Can the kids kneel for the anthem. Sure. Will it upset a portion of the fanbase, absolutely. Will it affect the bottom line of UND athletics, I’m guessing it will. Will the AD/coaches support the “biting the hand that feeds you?” im with the crowd that will stop following/donating/supporting UND teams that do this. Already stopped following professional sports. The fans gave athletes their platform and they can just as easily take it away.
  2. Exactly. These kids can have their story told by Schloss all they want. Do the social justice thing on their own time, own dime as much as they want. Once they start using a platform they received on the donations/contributions of others, I draw the line. Keep it off the ice, off the field, and do whatever you want. That's what these athletes don't understand.
  3. Losing all the sports teams I’m used to following. Stopped following pro sports, now check the hockey team off my list. Down to Basketball, vb and football. Sad that people feel this is the best way to make a statement.
  4. The creepy guy who sniffs children. That guy?
  5. Presumed President Elect and self proclaimed, “devout Catholic,” Joe Biden quotes the book of “Palms” during his Thanksgiving message. https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4925943/user-clip-joe-biden-quotes-palms
  6. Men have added a game at Dixie St. on December 2nd.
  7. Looks like the women have added a home game for this Sunday against Marquette. Doesn't say anything about fan being allowed or not.
  8. Little surprised that Ihenacho is listed in the newcomers section. Excited to have him. but he may need a year or two. I feel/hope Nero has bigger, more immediate impact on the team.
  9. How many are symptomatic? Are other states catching the asymptomatic cases? The more you test, the more asymptomatic cases you will catch.
  10. Real clear politics took Pa away from Biden. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/elections/live_results/2020/president/
  11. Absentee ballot voting or mail-in voting? Big difference between the two.
  12. Concerning to me, even more so, is the apparent lack of transparency. If GOP observers were intentionally being kept from doing their job of observing, it gives the message that something fraudulent might be going on, even if there was no fraud involved.
  13. Benford’s law shows some irregularity in places like Chicago, Alleghany County Pa, and Milwaukee. https://github.com/cjph8914/2020_benfords
  14. Minnesota cases have been rising as of late and have a pretty high positivity rate. Perhaps they should institute a mask mandate...oh wait they've had one in place since July.
  15. True. Also hard to get rid of Tucker with the size of audience he brings in, being the highest rated primetime cable news show.
  16. FOX has not been the same since Disney bought them out. Not as bad as MSNBC or CNN but definitely not the FOX of old. Especially since Paul Ryan got on the board.
  17. I believe in transparency also. When it comes to the Presidency and the safety of the nation, I believe the President has some discretion to use. He can't go around "yelling fire in the theatre" based on every threat the country faces. No President has ever done that and no President ever will.
  18. Unfortunately for you, he's not running for President.
  19. I've never understood this argument about Trump lying about the severity of the virus. Do you remember how people freaked out and bought all of the toilet paper due to fear of the virus, even after Trump supposedly downplayed it's severity? Imagine the panic if he came out and said we will need to lock down for a year, hundreds of thousands are going to die, etc, etc. There's threats to our country all the time, most of them we never even know about. Why is that? Because half the country would be hiding in their basement, afraid to come out in public, if they really knew all the threats out there. Fortunately we are able to mitigate the majority of those, thus, no need to "panic the public."
  20. Sounds like a different project. The project at the university isn’t in a city “Ren Zone,” and an earlier developer already used that tax incentive at St. John’s Block, which leaves only the Townhouse project with the Renaissance Zone option.
  21. An article with some details of a couple projects mentioned earlier in this thread. As well as some Info on a proposal for the St. John’s building. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/government-and-politics/6730624-Grand-Forks-redevelopment-proposals-would-transform-Townhouse-Memorial-Stadium-St.-John’s-Block
  22. Has anyone seen a rendering of the new restaurant? Curious what all the work on the roof is for? If I had to guess, I would say they are raising the ceiling vs building a patio, but it's tough to know for sure.
